Honesty Hour: Why You Need To Avoid Building Your Own Construction Website.

With the likes of Wix, Go Daddy and Square Space all offering a place online where even the most novice to marketing can ‘build a website’. But just because you can, does that mean you should? Just because I own a saw and a ladder does that mean I can call myself a Tree Surgeon and sort out the Oak Tree at the bottom of the garden?
